PURPOSE: To investigate the pattern of occurrence of inguinal neuritis in recurrent inguinal hernia. We hypothesize that neuritis will occur in more nerves with a wider distribution than in primary repair. METHODS: Retrospective chart review of thirty consecutive recurrent inguinal hernia repairs concentrating on the occurrence of inguinal neuritis. These are not chronic pain patients. Nerves s...

inguinal hernias sometimes surprise surgeons with unexpected contents. this article reports a 46-year-old male with a painless inguinal mass. surgical exploration showed three smooth yellowish concretions in the hernia sac. to our knowledge, this is the first report of hernial sac lithiasis.

Retroperitoneal liposarcoma presenting as an inguinal hernia is a rare entity. We present the first case of Giant recurrent liposarcoma presenting as a recurrent inguinal hernia in a 40-year-old male. Physical examination showed an irreducible lump in the right inguinal region and a scar in the right lumbar and right inguinal region. Computed tomography (CT) scan of abdomen revealed it to be a ...

BACKGROUND Indirect inguinal hernias are usually congenital, forming a sac in the core of the spermatic cord covered by the internal spermatic, cremasteric, and external spermatic fasciae(1-3). Direct inguinal hernias are acquired; the sac lies beside/behind the cord(1-3). A rare third type is a combination of indirect and direct sacs on both sides of inferior epigastric vessels(1-3). We descri...

Squamous cell carcinoma of the penis (SCC-P) demonstrates a reliable pattern of spread to the lymph nodes of the groin. High grade and higher stage (pT1b or greater) SCC-P demonstrate a higher propensity for metastasis to the inguinal lymph nodes. Further, lymphadenopathy progresses in a predictable fashion, from superficial inguinal lymph nodes to deep inguinal lymph nodes to pelvic lymph node...

Twenty-seven thousand four hundred and eight adult males between 20 and 22 years of age who were otherwise healthy were examined to detect inguinal hernias. Eight hundred and eighty-five (3.2%) inguinal hernia cases were detected. These were 479 (54.1%) right inguinal hernias, 351 (39.7%) left inguinal hernias and 55 (6.2%) bilateral inguinal hernias. One hundred and eighty-five (20.9%) subject...

Inguinal mass is a common clinical finding or even symptom in childhood while the most common diagnosis is inguinal hernia that may proceed with prompt surgical but there are a vast variety of different entities that may manifest as an inguinal mass and in some instances, surgical approach is not indicated or may need further preoperative assessments to determine a correct therapeutic plan. In ...

INTRODUCTION We report the case of a true hermaphrodite with testicular seminoma with resulting metastases to the inguinal lymph nodes eight months after radical orchidectomy. This is an unusual presentation of testicular cancer and, to the best of our knowledge, the first report of this kind in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION A 45-year-old Caucasian true hermaphrodite, raised as a male, de...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anatomical differences of fetus and adults concerning the inguinal region of male gender, as well as the presence of possible morphological basis for the higher incidence of inguinal hernias in the right side in both groups. METHODS Twenty human stillborn fetuses and twenty in natura adult male corpses were dissected in order to compare the length of the inguinal can...
